LG Renoir KC910 finally comes in 8 megapixel camera cell phones competition. Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Virtu-V from Chinese have offered this high resolution camera cell phones first. LG need a longer time to release their product in Indonesia.
At a glance, LG Renoir would remaind us to the previous products, Viewty. It’s because of the touchscreen and the minimum control buttons. Some predict that Renoir would replacing Viewty in the future.
Design
The desaign is square, a little wide but still in a slim candybar mode. Almost all face is dominated by screen, the rest area is filled by three buttons and earpiece. Ahead body is covered by hard plastick with doff effect and the battery is covered by plastic with transparent glass so a little bit slippery. In the battery cover, there’s a camera lens that is covered by turning mechanism. This lens cover is a little difficult to be accessed because of the small size. Beside it, there are flashlight and focus indicator.
Interface
In Renoir KC910, LG give it a touch interface just like in Cookies and Viewty series. The appearance is similar with TouchWiz in Samsung where we could set up the widget in main display including analog clock, digital calendar, music, etc.
The touchscreen has 262144 colours TFT with 240 x 400 pixel (WQVGA) at 3 inch diagonal screen. This is wide enough for our typing acceleration. The shaking feedback methode to access menus would not cause any troubles. It means that it is comfortable enough. Renoir screen quality could only be competed by iPhone 3G and Blackberry Storm. But unusual menu classification probably would be confusing for us. But it would be fine after long usage.
